The Aiken-Rhett House was built in 1820 by merchant John Robinson and in 1825 sold to Irish immigrant, William Aiken. After Aiken’s accidental death, his fortune passed to his wife, Henrietta, and his son, William Aiken Jr. In 1833, William Jr. and his wife moved into the home and made major renovations, transforming it into a prominent 19th-century estate. William Aiken Jr collected European art during his travels, much of which remains in the house. In 1975, the home was sold to The Charleston Museum. The Aiken-Rhett House still retains its original historic feel and appearance.  
In the slave quarters people feel a heavy emotion of anger and unease. Two guests came across an African-American woman who vanished into the maze of rooms located on the second floor. During the late 1980s, a couple of architects working in the house witnessed the reflection of a woman in a mirror, weeping and silently crying out in the ballroom. Additionally, several individuals in the house have captured photographs that reveal paranormal phenomena.
